I love scary films. I just love the feeling of being scared to death: the screaming and the cowering and covering the eyes with both hands but actually peeping so as not to miss any scene. I anticipate the silent but erratic thudding of my heart then finally coming to terms that what I'm watching is just a movie and that everything will be fine in the end. Well, that's the usual predictable ending of scary movies anyway. However, an unrated horror movie that has been showing at selected cinemas in the US starting May 9 is proving to be different.

If you want to see what I mean, view the trailer of theHorror movie that is making such a buzz. Be ready for downright blood and gore. I was riveted and wanted more when I watched the trailer. Majority of unrated movies fail to make it to the cinemas for viewing. Since May 9, 2008, Frontier(s) has been showing in Los Angeles, Austin, New York, Boston, Denver, Phoenix, Detroit, Seattle, and Philadelphia. DVDs were out on sale May 13, 2008 at leading DVD shops nationwide.

I was intrigued by some controversy surrounding the film. I quote and unquote one critic:

".... will be remembered as one of the greatest genre films of all time."
